Bagley Downs — The Free Clinic of Southwest Washington received a $2,000 grant from the ReMax Equity Group Foundation to help cover costs associated with the children’s immunization program. An average of 500 immunizations are given each year for uninsured children in the community through the program. By promoting the immunization program in the uninsured community, the Free Clinic is not only helping those children, but also protecting other children in schools and the community while helping ensure that uninsured children are not denied attendance to school or a child care facility. The funds from the grant will be used to purchase medical supplies for vaccinating patients at the Free Clinic or at community events, such as the Vancouver Public Schools Annual GoReady Back to School event.
